    Multifamily Bridgeland | 16m | 5s | Groupe Denux | ACE

    Anyone know what happened to this? Seems totally dead after demolition.

    Bridgeland Mixed Use | 22m | 6s | Westrich Pacific | S2

    I made the mistake of opening facebook for the first time in forever. Did you know that this project is the continuation of "Bridgeland going down the tubes" and by bulldozing the absolute worst block in the neighbourhood, we're going to inexcusably destroy valued local businesses that need to...

    Flyover Block | 20m | 6s | RNDSQR | FAAS Architecture

    As the foundation shapes up, I'm shocked at how small the footprint is. I think that will add even more to the cool factor.

    Era | 41.15m | 13s | Minto

    I actually don't mind that there are awful looking buildings. If you had a decent street (2 way with parking, maybe some actual trees) you have retail up tight against the sidewalk, and could actually get a nice little corridor there, despite being an architectural wasteland. Throw some street...

    It looks like residential units on the St. Matthew Square side to me, not retail. Sure, I guess there could be some wind, but I find public spaces placed between tightly spaced buildings are more attractive than completely wide open spaces.

    It's kind of too bad there isn't a public outdoor space between the two towers instead of the podium that blocks off pedestrian movement.

    Flyover Block | 20m | 6s | RNDSQR | FAAS Architecture

    Looks to be some footings poured with heaters on them a couple days ago. Sorry, no photos. Hopefully more action soon though!

    Bridgeland Riverside Continuing Care Centre | 18.59m | 5s | Province of Alberta | FWBA

    This thing is going so slow. Is it like a hospital, and super complicated to build because of all of the specialized infrastructure for care?

    The Bridge | 52.42m | 16s | Jemm Properties | Zeidler

    I'm torn on this. I like the idea of the little square/plaza on the other side of the building (not necessarily the current execution) and shoving angle parking there would kill the future potential to make it a proper little square that could be highly usable. 9th street just kind of sucks...

    Multifamily Bridgeland | 16m | 5s | Groupe Denux | ACE

    Does that south elevation mean that there will be a small green space between this and the adjacent house? As someone who lives on a lot that will likely end up with this type of thing as a direct neighbour one day, I don't mind that. Having all the balconies looming over your yard wouldn't be...

    Flyover Block | 20m | 6s | RNDSQR | FAAS Architecture

    I'm really really excited to see this moving. I will continue to reiterate how wrong I was every time they tried to spruce up the area under the flyover. I figured it was a lost cause. When the playground was funded, I was surprised and skeptical. I use park frequently, and it's always packed...

    I don't see the DP as released yet. I got all excited when I saw the excavator. Is this actually going ahead? Is this some pre-work that is an approval condition or something?

    The Bridge | 52.42m | 16s | Jemm Properties | Zeidler

    I wasn't a big fan of the renderings, but find my self surprised at how much less it offends me in person.

    That is super disappointing. 9th street is becoming one step above banks and mortgage brokers- fitness and daycare centres.

    A little Brio in the bottom as well. I'm still shocked that actually saw the light of day after being an eternal sales centre.
